Cheers all, especially for the heads up on the price and reminder to get thermal paste! I shall shop around and await the arival of the pay day fairy!

Thanks again, I like the sound of the incremental upgrades, far more sensible than just throwing money at it. I may be missing something but can I actually buy individual components on PC Specialist or is it only complete systems?

Thanks for the replies, sounds like I'm pretty close to what I need. Of course a part of me does now wonder what it would take if I did want to run it with all the bells and whistles. Would I be looking at spending hundres or thousands?

I bought the following in Mar 2020 but find that it is struggling to run FS2020 in VR. Could I get away with upgrading some components to get it up to spec or is it time for a new system? VR: Steam Index Monitor: LG UltraGear 34GK950F 34-inch Curved Monitor- 21:9 QHD 3440x1440 Nano IPS, 144Hz...

Thanks for your reply, I think this clearly demostrates that I don't have a clue what I'm doing. The PSU confusion stemmed from the fact that on following the url for the build it showed it having a 450W powersuply, so I added a 1000W when the configurator prompted me to. Clearly I should have...

Sorry for slightly hijacking the thread but I'm after a system for MSFS in VR too! I've upgraded to the RTX 4090 and removed the second SSD (upping the HDD to 4GB although I'm already wondering if 2TB would actually be enough), the processor cooling was out of stock so I've taken a wild guess...

Cheers for the advice! Always nice to see the cost come down! I was aiming to add in a bit of future proofing but her the impression I may have gone slightly over board!

On second thoughts, if I up my budget to £3k I could get the following. Any thoughts? Case THERMALTAKE V200 TEMPERED GLASS RGB EDITION GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (DDR4, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX/SLI)...

Hi there, I have a LG 34GK950F Monitor but am also thinking of getting Valve Index VR set up. I'm playing X Plane 11, Elite Dangerous and Total War games. My budget is £2K (ish!) and so far I’ve come up with the spec below. Am I going overboard here, is there anything I should change? Case...

Cheers all for the feedback. To be honest VR is on the far horizon, I doubt I'd get much use out of it in reality. So, I can go Black Friday, have a decent system and £500 in my pocket, or I can go for Scotsters rig, blow my entire budget but get a bit more of a beast. Both option have their...

LG UltraGear 34GK950F 34-inch Curved Monitor- 21:9 QHD 3440x1440 Nano IPS, 144Hz, AMD Radeon FreeSync2, VESA DisplayHDR 400

I may have missed it but has anyone discussed the spec of the Black Friday desktops on offer? Are they any good? I want to game (Total War and flight sims) on a 34" monitor and possibly jump on the VR bandwagon at some point. I also want a super quiet PC. However, I had budgeted £2k for the rig...

Cheers for the reply. Any advice on how this spec compares to their Black Friday laptops? I see they are both priced around my £1k target. The beefier of the two has the following spec for £1,129: Chassis & Display Proteus Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080)...

I'm trying to build a laptop that'll run Planet Zoo but costs under a thousand. The game's recommended specs are Processor: Intel i7-4770k / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB) I've come up with the following, but can anyone...

I know it's not out yet (and who knows when it will be!?!?!) but can I get a PC that will run Star Citizen for £1,000? And what if I want to run it in VR? Cheers for any help you can offer.

Sorry for the lack of specifics in this but I'm trying to help a friend buy a new Desktop (or laptop, he doesn't even seem sure which he'd rather have) but he's not given me an idea of his budget. All I have to go on is he wants to play Company of Heroes 2. Can anyone advise the cheapest...

Hi, A friend of mine wants to run Total War: Warhammer on a laptop, are there laptops beefy enough to run this and if so how much do they go for? Warhammer specs below if it helps... PC Minimum Specifications: [Expected around 15-25 FPS on campaign map and in a 1v1, 20 units vs 20 units...

Ok so "cluless" may be a bit harsh but its 4 years since I last bought a system so maybe "out of touch" would be more accurate. Anyway, I've no idea what's good these days and so have no build for you to help with, instead I was hoping I could list my requirements and see if anyone can suggest a...
